Joel 'Magic' Johnson's 1987 IFMAR 2wd winning Ultima

[DanB4]

Hi All,

I'm proud to be working with Joel Johnson and many of my friends in the hobby (who'll all get credit as we go) to restore Joel's actual 1987 2wd IFMAR worlds winning Ultima to it's former glory. Yes, it is the actual real car.

I'll be recording the re-build here and on facebook in various groups- it'll be great to see it back in Joel's hands as it was to see Jamie with his 1990 Egress

Lots more to come soon - Joel is just gathering up all he has remaining of the car (he tells me he still has the body thankfully, hopefully it is useable and using the original body will be a nice addition).

Some may know this car used a lot of aftermarket and option parts - once I know what is and isn't there I'll make a list and hope some of you can donate to this epic rebuild.

Thanks,

Dan

Do you do this for the love or get paid to do it?

All for love.

I will be watching this also. I have a lot of interest as I would love to build a Tribute buggy for my collection. I have been gathering parts for awhile now. Welcome Dirk and please keep us updated Dan.
